Sing-box is an open-source proxy platform for iPhone, iPad, Windows, Android, macOS, Linux, and Apple TV. The app does not provide a server or VPN subscription.<\/strong> To connect, you need a compatible Sing-box profile or proxy credentials placed inside a JSON configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide first shows you how to turn a NodeMaven SOCKS5 endpoint into a reusable Sing-box JSON profile. It then walks through Sing-box MT on an iPhone<\/strong> screen by screen. The iPad uses the same controls, while shorter sections cover the exact setup sequence on Windows, Android, macOS, Linux, and Apple TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Download links differ by device, so use the verified links in the next section. This avoids an outdated Apple documentation page that still says the iOS app is unavailable even though Sing-box MT has returned to the App Store.<\/p>\n\n\n

Sing-box setup at a glance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The setup uses one profile across supported devices. Copy your proxy credentials, add them to the JSON template, then import or paste that profile into the official Sing-box app for your operating system.<\/strong> Only the app installation, profile-import screen, and system permission differ between devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Install the official Sing-box client for your device.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Copy the NodeMaven server, port, username, and password.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Add those four values to the JSON template in this guide.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Save the profile as nodemaven-sing-box.json, or copy the full JSON for the iPhone editor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Create or import a Local<\/strong> profile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Start the connection and verify the public IP.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Where can you download Sing-box safely?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Use the direct store and project links below. Do not download proxy clients from unrelated APK, IPA, or software-download sites.<\/strong> A modified network client may be able to inspect the traffic sent through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Download Sing-box MT for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The Apple page in the Sing-box documentation still contains an old removal notice. The newer Sing-box 1.14 release notes<\/a> say the iOS and tvOS clients returned to the App Store as Sing-box MT, and the live listing confirms that the app is available in the US storefront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Check the App Store region attached to your Apple account.<\/strong> If the listing is unavailable there, use a supported alternative such as Shadowrocket<\/a> or Happ. Avoid shared Apple IDs and unofficial IPA files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Download Sing-box for Windows and Linux<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Windows and Linux use Sing-box for Desktop<\/a>. The official page supports Windows 10+<\/strong> on x64, x86, and ARM64, plus Linux on x64, ARM64, and ARMv7l.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Follow its GitHub Releases link and choose the latest stable release. Windows graphical packages use SFW in the filename, while Linux graphical packages use SFL. Do not choose a 1.15 alpha asset unless you intentionally want a testing build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Download Sing-box for macOS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Sing-box for macOS, called SFM, requires macOS 13 or later<\/strong>. The current standalone app is available through GitHub Releases or Homebrew:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    brew install –cask sfm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The current project release notes say SFM is no longer offered through the Mac App Store. Choose the Apple silicon, Intel, or Universal package for your Mac. Check our guide on how to use SOCKS5 proxy servers<\/a> natively or with proxy managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Where can you get a Sing-box key, configuration, or proxy server?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Sing-box does not include a connection when you install it. You need a complete JSON profile, a private subscription URL that returns Sing-box JSON, or proxy server credentials that you add to a profile<\/strong>. For the setup in this guide, the server comes from a NodeMaven ISP proxy and the template below turns its credentials into a profile Sing-box can run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The word \u043a\u043b\u044e\u0447<\/strong> is often used loosely in proxy tutorials. In Sing-box, it may refer to an individual protocol link, login credentials, or access to a subscription. Check the format before purchasing anything. A VPN subscription that works in another app will not necessarily provide Sing-box JSON.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Which connection formats work with Sing-box?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Sing-box runs local or remote JSON profiles<\/strong>. A profile can contain TUN settings, DNS, routing rules, and one or more outbound connections. HTTP and SOCKS5 credentials work after you place them in the matching outbound block. A raw host:port:username:password string is not a complete Sing-box configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Complete Sing-box JSON<\/td>\u0414\u0430<\/td>Import it or paste it into a Local profile<\/td><\/tr>

    A server<\/strong> is the endpoint that carries the connection. An outbound<\/strong> tells Sing-box how to reach it. A \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0444\u0438\u043b\u044c<\/strong> is the complete configuration that the app runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u041e\u0444\u0438\u0446\u0438\u0430\u043b\u044c\u043d\u0430\u044f SOCKS outbound documentation<\/a> accepts a server, port, SOCKS version, username, and password. The HTTP outbound documentation<\/a> covers HTTP CONNECT credentials. The SOCKS vs HTTP guide<\/a> explains when each protocol fits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Which option should you choose?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    \u0420\u0435\u043a\u043e\u043c\u0435\u043d\u0434\u0443\u0435\u043c ISP-\u043f\u0440\u043e\u043a\u0441\u0438 NodeMaven<\/a> because they are quality-checked, versatile, and compatible with Sing-box and other proxy clients.<\/strong> Each plan includes a stable ISP IP, unlimited traffic, HTTP(S), SOCKS5, and UDP support for use across different devices, platforms, and authorized workflows. Plans start at $2.99 \u0437\u0430 IP<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That setup suits browser profiles, messaging apps, regional testing, and longer authorized sessions where repeated IP changes would interrupt the workflow. You select the country, copy four credentials from the dashboard, and place them in the ready-made JSON profile below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For a short non-sensitive test, you can try an endpoint from the \u0411\u0435\u0441\u043f\u043b\u0430\u0442\u043d\u044b\u0439 \u0441\u043f\u0438\u0441\u043e\u043a \u043f\u0440\u043e\u043a\u0441\u0438 NodeMaven<\/a>. Public proxies often stop responding, become overloaded, or get blocked. Do not send account credentials, private messages, payment details, or other sensitive traffic through an unknown free endpoint.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you want a managed list of VPN-style servers, choose a provider that explicitly supplies Sing-box JSON or a Sing-box-compatible subscription URL<\/strong>. For a self-hosted connection, you will need to maintain both the server and its profile.<\/p>\n\n\n

    How do you create a Sing-box JSON proxy profile?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    A Sing-box profile is a JSON document that defines the device tunnel, DNS route, and proxy connection. Create the configuration once, add your NodeMaven credentials, and use it on iPhone, iPad, Windows, Android, macOS, or Linux.<\/strong> Apple TV can receive the finished profile from an iPhone or iPad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 1: Copy the proxy credentials<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    If you selected the NodeMaven ISP<\/a> option in the previous section, open the order in your dashboard. The following four values are all you need for the JSON profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Sign in to the NodeMaven dashboard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Open the ISP proxy order.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. \u0421\u043a\u043e\u043f\u0438\u0440\u0443\u0439\u0442\u0435 IP address or server<\/strong>, \u043f\u043e\u0440\u0442<\/strong>, \u0438\u043c\u044f \u043f\u043e\u043b\u044c\u0437\u043e\u0432\u0430\u0442\u0435\u043b\u044f<\/strong>, \u0438 \u043f\u0430\u0440\u043e\u043b\u044c<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Keep these details private while building the profile.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Step 2: Copy the Sing-box JSON template<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      The template below was checked with the stable Sing-box 1.14.1 core. It creates a TUN route, sends DNS-over-HTTPS requests through the proxy, and uses the NodeMaven SOCKS5 endpoint as the default outbound.<\/p>\n\n\n
